Abstract:
Objective:To investigate effects of picroside Ⅱ(PⅡ)on proliferation,apoptosis and immune escape of lung cancer cells by regulating C-C motif chemokine ligand 2(CCL2)/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2(CCR2)signaling axis.Methods:Human lung cancer cells NCI-H292 were cultured and treated with 0,5,10,20,40 and 80 μmol/L PⅡ,MTT method was applied to detect cell viability.Experiment was separated into control group,low,medium and high concentrations PⅡ groups(PⅡ-L,PⅡ-M,PⅡ-H,10,20 and 40 μmol/L PⅡ),high concentration PⅡ+CCL2 overexpression negative control group(PⅡ-H+pcDNA-NC,40 μmol/L PⅡ+pcDNA-NC)and high concentration PⅡ+CCL2 overexpression group(PⅡ-H+CCL2,40 μmol/L PⅡ+pcDNA-CCL2).EdU method was applied to measure cell proliferation;flow cytometry was applied to measure cell apoptosis;immunoblotting was applied to determine expressions of CCL2,CCR2,B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)and Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax).Lung can-cer cells in each group were co-cultured with CD8+T cells,Trypan blue staining was applied to measure CD8+T cell viability;ELISA was applied to determine levels of programmed death receptor-ligand 1(PD-L1),IL-10,IFN-γ and TGF-β.Results:Compared with 0 μmol/L,cell viability treated with 10,20,40 and 80 μmol/L PⅡ were significantly reduced(P<0.05),and 10,20 and 40 μmol/L PⅡ were selected for subsequent experiments.Compared with control group,positive rate of EdU and expressions of Bcl-2,CCL2 and CCR2 in PⅡ-L group,PⅡ-M group and PⅡ-H group were decreased sequentially(P<0.05),while apoptosis rate and expression of Bax were increased sequentially(P<0.05).Compared with PⅡ-H+pcDNA-NC group,positive rate of EdU and expressions of Bcl-2,CCL2 and CCR2 in PⅡ-H+CCL2 group were increased obviously(P<0.05),while apoptosis rate and expression of Bax were de-creased significantly(P<0.05).After co-culturing with CD8+T cells,compared with control group,levels of IL-10,TGF-β and PD-L1 in PⅡ-L group,PⅡ-M group and PⅡ-H group were decreased sequentially(P<0.05),while CD8+T cell viability and level of IFN-γ were increased sequentially(P<0.05).Compared with PⅡ-H+pcDNA-NC group,levels of IL-10,TGF-β and PD-L1 in PⅡ-H+CCL2 group were increased obviously(P<0.05),while CD8+T cell viability and level of IFN-γ were reduced significantly(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:PⅡ may inhibit proliferation and immune escape of lung cancer cells,and promote cell apoptosis by inhibiting CCL2-CCR2 sig-naling axis.
